True, but my take on him is that he would make every effort to gather/steal hi-tech equipment at every turn. And if its a regional supply base, I'd expect a major effort, just too much to gain from seizing one intact.

How many Warriors does he lose sending into his own bioengineered War plagues and the radioactivity from the nuclear weapon just deployed to shut down this Morrow Base?

I think he went to sleep counting on the plague, the radioactivity, and MP secrecy to guard the door for him.

Guess what I trying to say is simply with his core being in the midwest, the dispatching of biological weapon makes more sense than sending a nuke; this opens up the discussion as to just how many nukes Krell has his hot little hands on?

If he's willing to risk one nuke on a suspected command/supply base so far from his territory (and risking its loss or capture by someone hostile to him).....

Maybe so. There is no telling how many he has. He is sending his minions out to find more, and they know what they are looking for, Ala Final Watch.

The nuke and the plague maybe Krell's answer to not having the troops to secure the territory he has gained at that time. He has made in Strategic terms " a Deep Raid" with the purpose of denying his foes supplies and support systems. A "Pearl Harbor" the strike has crippled his foes while he consolidate his gains.

Sets things up for a return of Krell forces to Prime Base. They know where it is after all. A trusted Krell Lieutenant that commanded the attack may be back after decades in cryosleep.
